Physical Donations at the Internet Archive - Webinar

by: Chris Freeland

Publication date: 2021-05-27

Topics: donations

Item Size: 1.2G

Did you know that the Internet Archive has an active donations program? We work with libraries, schools, publishers, and individual collectors who are looking to donate materials to the Internet Archive for preservation and digitization (as funding allows). We also have an innovative partnership with Better World Books, a trusted partner for many libraries.

Viewers will hear from Liz Rosenberg, our fearless donation manager, as she walks everyone through the Internet Archive’s physical donations program. Liz, along with partners from Better World Books, will explain how we work with libraries and collectors, the kinds of materials the Internet Archive is interested in acquiring, and the impact these donations have made for readers and researchers all over the world.
